millionaire ought TO die and bequeath a

Presidents and Horses.

Zachary Taylor never looked so i'm
posing as when he appeared on horse
back.
Jefferson was fine Judge of horse
flesh. and spent good deal of his time
in the saddle.
President Buchanan was frequently
seen on horseback and he owned a set
of harness which cost $500.
Lincoln was friendly 10 horseflesh.
and had several pets in his stable. He
always wore high silk hat when he
rode ont.
President Tyler had some good
horses, but he rode in secondhand
carriage, which was the only thing his
friends had against him.
During the latter part OF his term
President Arthur took horseback rides
almost daily and made n graceful APP
pearance in the saddle.
Gen. Grant was always associated
with HE horses, and his long experience
in campaigning made him thoroughly
ut home in tho saddle.
IL is said that tip which man once
gave Andrew jackson on n horse race
saved that mans life when Jackson
afterward became President.
John Quincy Adams was SO enthusi-
astic lover of horses that he never
missed the rnces which were held near
Washington while he was living at the
capital.
President Harrison pranced 10 his in
auguration at the Capitol on a milk
white steed. imitation Of tho Roman
empcrors AS they cayorted along the
Appian way.
George Washington was so fond Of
horses that he once gave a stable boy n
fiogging because he neglected TO rub
his animal down after he had come in
wet from hard gallop.
President Cleveland has never tried q
saddle-horse since he has been in
Washington. and people say he is too
heavy 70 sit we'll on a horse. His car
riage team, however, is one OF the most
stylish at the capital.

An old merchant said years ago that
not more than one per cent. Of the best
class Of merchants succeed without fail

two per cent. Of the merchants OF New
York ultimately retire on an indepen-

usual ordeal OF failure. and not more
than three out of every hundred mer-

dence. In Cincinnati, out OF 400 BUSH

Mr.. Parnell followed the Queen E
speech in parliament by a telling ef-
fort distinguished for its plain and
truthful English. We clip tho fol-
lowing passage:
The government talked loudly and
glibly about the robbery of landlords
by tenants, but almost every title to
land in Ireland, and England, too,
was founded upon robbery, and the
landlords had long been robbing
their tenants of tho products of their
labor. The Tories would not be able
to administer the powers OF oppres-
sion under q constitutional govern
ment, nor could they do so while the
Irish members sat in Parliament.
